Somebody sent me these addicting munchees. The JeedJard chewies!

Thank you JeedJard and Nana!!! :)

This delicious chewy snack is addicting! Not only are they so fun to chew but they are healthy too! Not much a fan of the Tamarind category snacks but I think this one changed my mind.

The food items are conveniently packed which you can carry anytime and anywhere. Another good thing is that this one is low in calorie and fat-free. Wondering what's inside those packs? well, they are soft and bite-sized, seedless candies made and manufactured in a province in Thailand called Petchaboon.

There are actually 3 flavors of the JeedJard Chewy Tamarind. First is they have the JeedJard Tamarind with Plum. It has a natural sweet and sour taste enhanced with plum powder. Next is the Jeedjard Tamarind with Spicy Plum. (My personal favorite) These babies will tickle the taste buds. Perfect for the spicy food lovers. Last is the JeedJard Tamarind Stick. This has the taste of natural tamarind. Most will love the lightly coated with sugar on the Tamarind Stick.

Known as “The Glitch,” Vanellope is a pixelating programming mistake in the candy-coated cart-racing game Sugar Rush. With a racer’s spirit embedded in her coding, Vanellope is determined to earn her place in the starting lineup amongst the other racers. Only problem: the other racers don’t want her or her glitching in the game. Years of rejection have left Vanellope with a wicked sense of humor and a razor-sharp tongue. However, somewhere beneath that hard shell is a sweet center just waiting to be revealed.

“With Vanellope, we were looking for a character that would mirror Ralph’s struggles,” says screenwriter Phil Johnston. “She’s an outsider. The kids pick on her. Nobody really likes her and they exclude her from the races. And all she wants to do is race—to be part of the game—just as Ralph wants to be a part of his community in Niceland.”

When it came to casting Vanellope, filmmakers knew what they didn’t want. “We didn’t want a child to play the part,” says director Rich Moore. “We wanted someone who was acerbic and quick, and could carry the more serious parts of the performance.”

Enter Sarah Silverman, whose quick wit and likability lend themselves perfectly to the Sugar Rush resident. But Silverman brings something to the role that audiences might not expect. Says Moore, “We all know Sarah Silverman is funny—she’s a comedian. But Sarah’s a great dramatic actress as well.”

With the friendship between Vanellope and Ralph being integral to the emotional core of the movie, filmmakers had Silverman and John C. Reilly (who provides the voice of Ralph) record many of their scenes together, which is uncommon for an animated film.

Check out the trailer below.

“John and I were able to record together a lot,” says Silverman. “It’s fun to be able to look into someone’s eyes when you’re saying the lines and to improvise off of each other. We improvised, we overlapped. It felt very organic.”

“Ralph and Vanellope don’t really like each other at first—she gives him a hard time—but they start to realize that they’re a lot alike. They’re both misfits. “They’re both broken characters when we meet them,” says producer Clark Spencer. “They both are desperate to be something else, which they think will help them get the acceptance and love they crave.”

Check out the trailer of "Evil Dead" which is the remake of Sam Raimi's 1982 hit horror film "The Evil Dead".

In the new movie, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead and unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

“Evil Dead” reunites original director Sam Raimi (“Spider-Man” franchise); producer Rob Tapert (“30 Days of Night”) and co-producer Bruce Campbell who also played the Ash character. All three now are back to produce an “Evil Dead” for today's audience that's high on the horror, gore, plot twists and more from director Fede Alvaraez and a screenplay written by Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues.

To those who still haven't watch the full first trailer of Iron Man 3, I suggest you watch it now. Iron Man is faced against an enemy who knows no bounds. His Stark head quarters destroys, he is in pursuit of those responsible. But it doesn't get that easy. He is left with his own devices, his instincts and ingenuity. He is also challenged to protect those closest to him.

Stark then discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him. "Does the man make the suit, or does the suit make the man?"

The Nokia Lumia 510 boasts with a bright 4-inch display and signature Lumia experiences in Nokia’s new entry-level Windows Phone. With today's competitive smartphone makes, price, features and quality is the key. I believe Nokia Lumia 510 has a market out there.

“With the Nokia Lumia 510 we continue to meet our commitment to bring Windows Phone to new, lower price points,” said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices. “People who use Windows Phone quickly realize how much more intuitive it is than other smartphone platforms, and Nokia Lumia is the best embodiment of the Windows Phone experience. With the Nokia Lumia 510 we’re looking forward to welcoming more people into the Windows Phone experience.”

Following on from the success of the Nokia Lumia 610, this latest addition to the Nokia Lumia range comes in five vivid colors for a fun and personal way to enjoy Windows Phone.

Windows Phone is different to other smartphone platforms thanks to Live Tiles, making it easy to see incoming messages and updates; PeopleHub, which brings together contacts and updates from across social networks into one location, and access to Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer 9 on the mobile.

Unique Lumia experiences also make the Nokia Lumia 510 unlike any other entry-level Windows Phone. Downloading the Camera Extras app provides exclusive digital lens functionality to go with the five megapixel camera and built-in autofocus. Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive and Nokia Transport also offer the most comprehensive smartphone location and navigation experience available.

The Nokia Lumia 510 will be available in red, yellow, cyan, white and black. Nokia estimates the retail price for the Nokia Lumia 510 to be around USD199, excluding taxes and subsidies. Sales are planned to begin in November 2012, starting with India and China,and followed closely by other Asia-Pacific countries and South America.

For 25 years now, Marina, the brand from Iloilo has been serving great oysters and seafoods and other Filipino specialties. In that two decades, they have been giving out the best of Filipino hospitality and family oriented service. Who would have thought that this brands has been around for that long. That's why when they asked to to do a taste test of their food, I didn't think twice. Equipped with a famished appetite, me and a handful of selected bloggers charged to Marina - Metrowalk branch and .... well you know...

Blue Marlin - Marina Seafoods

Blue Marlin P 125.00 / 100 grams. minimum of 500 grams.

I'm not really a fan of Blue Marlin but when i saw this big slice of fish, I was impressed. The plate sized cut was just so inviting that I couldn't resist. It has a bit of ensalada on the side with my favorite shrimp paste. The fish wasn't dry as other cooked fish that you would imagine. This one is juicy and tasty. This Grill Blue Marlin is indeed a catch. You can buy this baby for P 125 / 100 grams. Not bad if you ask me. I say this is worth it.

Beef Kare-Kare - Marina Seafoods

Kare-kareP 295.00

For me anything that I can put bagoong into, i'm good with it. Karekare is always paired with a bagoong, but I think this one was an exception. The sauce was tasty enough and I had to order another cup of rice just to satisty my craving for this one. Ofcourse this is dish is best with bagoong, who am I kidding. The beed inside was tender and just as juicy delicious as it would look.

Crispy Pata - Marina Seafoods

Crispy Pata P560.00

Who doesn't love Crispy Pata? Even if you're on a diet of full, you'd find yourself pinching a bit of skin or mean and then dipping it into that small bowl of vinegar. Why? because you would long for that crunchy taste and that guilty pleasure you'd be putting in your mouth. Oh Crispy Pata, how I adore thee let me count thy bones. (huh?)

Sinigang na Hipon - Marina Seafoods

Sinigang na Hipon- Marina Seafoods

Sinigang na HiponP 235.00

May look like the usual Sinigang na Hipon but this one is different. Marina's sinigang use "Batuan", a kind of fruit that gives out a different kind of sourness. Yes, they don't use sampaloc on their sinigang. You interested to know the taste? I suggest you head to the nearest Marina and try this one. I recommend it.

Managat Fish - Marina Seafoods

ManagatP 120.00 / 100g

One of their Ilonggo House Specialties, the Managat is another humongous fish that was served at our table. You mat not see the scale or the size of this but I hope you can trust me when I say is is just amazing how big this baby is. The question I asked next is "Is it Boneless?" The answer to that is no, but hey, you'd still want to dig in to that and just experience the juiciness and tastiness of this Managat. After tasting this, I understood why is it one of their house sepecialties.

Marina Seafood Soup

Marina Seafood Soup P350.00

The Marina seafood Soup was creamy in a way. It was thick and tasty. You'll also have fun getting the seafoods out of this delicious bowl. try it, yo'll love it. :)

Steamed Oysters - Marina Seafoods

Baked Oysters - Marina Seafoods

Steamed OystersP 285.00 / Baked OystersP 299.00

People from Marina delivers fresh oysters everyday into their stores. So expect the freshest and the best oysters Iloilo can offer. May it be fresh, steamed or baked. This is surely something you must not miss when dining at Marina. :)

PROMO ALERT

This coming October 25, in celebration of their 25 years in the business, they will be treating everyone to a discounted price of their oysters. P 25.00 for a plate of their oysters. (Maximum to 2 orders per table, per receipt). So remember, October 25, P 25.00 on their Oysters, maximum of 2 plates only at Marina. So be sure to mark your calendars already and be ready to head to Marina on the 25th.

For the desserts, I'll be grabbing some photos from my fellow blogger KUMAGCOW.com who also attended the food tasting.

Leche Flan - Marina Seafoods

Leche Flan P 60.00

The perfect way to end every Filipino feast is with a Leche Flan. This beautifully presented dessert is as yummy as it looks. You gotta love this.

The Gold Rush - Marina Seafoods

Gold Rush Ice Cream P 65.00

Well, there was a choice of this ice cream on their menu so I went for it. The vanilla with a hint of caramel was just perfect for me. The 2 scoops was just right and soothing. You gotta love vanilla.

Did you like the food items that you saw? well you can only find them at Marina. Time tested and still going strong. Oh and they have the BIGGEST, THICKEST, JUICIEST, FRESHEST, PERFECTLY GRILLED Blue Marlin Steaks in Town!!!
